Basic PvP UI Tutorial (video)

Here is a tutorial on how to set up a basic, functional PvP UI.

Also, a link to Redmist's tutorial on setting up a clean UI, quality stuff.

Welcome, this is the second edition of my PvP UI Tutorial. Feel free to skip over sections you already are well versed in (such as Addon Introduction if you already know how to install addons).

Full length, high quality streams are at http://www.pvptutorial.com

Full length WCM version: http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=100111

If my site goes down for some reason (like me being a sucky webpage owner), all videos are available at lower resolution at http://www.youtube.com/moyxx030, my Youtube page.

Saw it a few days ago and I have to say it's pretty informative for people who are completely new on making an (PvP) UI. Good job!

You might also want to mention Align. It creates a grid on your screen to help to align all of your add-ons. It's one of the simplest add-ons out there, but surely one of the greatest.

Ha I should check that out so my UI doesn't make people want to gouge their eyes out.

Thanks for the comments guys
